Pray this Lazaroo in ardent, longing love:

“The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
(1 Corinthians 2:10)

I can’t thank You enough for that, Jesus!

‘cause I sure can’t figure a whole lot of stuff out.

I can’t even figure myself out –
let alone other people and situations.

But it’s “the deep things of God” that I most long to understand!

I suspect that if I knew those

I’d be able to better understand what’s going on
everywhere else in the world.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them.”
(Judges 2:18)

What would we do without Your compassion, Jesus?

There’s so much evil in the world!

If I didn’t know You see and care and understand

I don’t know what I would do.
But it wouldn’t be good.

That may explain why some people do the things they do.

They don’t know You’re watching, caring, loving
and will intervene in Your perfect way and time.

Cry out to God! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they are…ruthless.”
(Romans 1:31)

How can anyone stand against the ruthless, Jesus?

If they’re more powerful, they can and will
smash us into the ground.

They don’t seem to have the ability to empathize

to feel another person’s pain.

They’re possessed by a desire to pillage, harm and destroy.

“Possessed” is the right word, isn’t it?
Their ruthlessness comes straight from the pits of hell.

End their reign, LORD God Almighty!

Rescue Your humble, hurting people from their clutches.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out…”
(Joshua 3:1)

That’s a good time to set out, isn’t it, Jesus?

An early start can lead to an earlier finish!

Of course, due to health issues, family dynamics or work schedule

not everyone can.

You know that and make it up to them.

However, there are those who can and should rise early

but are too lazy to do so.

May I never be counted in their number.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“But God raised him from the dead…”
(Acts 2:24)

They killed You, Jesus!

Yeah, but God raised You from the dead.

Now, what, enemies? What else you got?

Nuthin’. You’ve got nuthin’.

If they can’t keep You in the grave, they can’t stop You.

And I’m Your kid.

The worst they can do to me is kill me.

But if they do, I immediately go to my huge reward
for standing boldly with You at the risk of my life.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“But as for you…”
(Deuteronomy 1:40)

What a reminder, Jesus.

There’s everybody else
and then there’s me.

Sometimes You tell us all to do the same thing.

But without exception
each of our roads is different in some respect.

Help me be a team player when You want me to jump in with the rest.

But may I always be ready to do what nobody else is doing
when You send me out on my own
with a unique, holy assignment.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest personal gratitude:

“Come and see…”
(John 1:46)

I would have thought that’s all people needed to do, Jesus.

Phillip told Nathanael to come and see You and he believed.
Many others did the same.

But it’s stunning to realize how many of the Jewish leaders who saw You did not believe.

They already had their minds made up.
They scoffed at your words and ignored your miracles.

It’s the same way today.

Nobody can come to You unless Your Father enables them.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Count all the firstborn Israelite males who are a month old or more…”
(Numbers 3:40)

Why did You tell Moses to do that, Jesus?

It didn’t really matter to him, did it?

Oh, he might have been curious

but whether he understood or not
he was going to do it.

That’s a pretty rare commodity

but it’s one of the things You loved about him, wasn’t it?

With all my heart

I hope that’s one of the things You love about me.

Pray this Lazaroo filled with gratitude:

“He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.”
(Luke 1:53)

When we think we’ve got life figured out, Jesus

You flip the script!

There’s something about You that loves doing that, isn’t there?

I love that about You, too.

You have such a heart for those who struggle and are hurting.

You also have a heart for those You’ve richly blessed
who love to share.

But for the stingy?
Not so much.
